Kidnapping or abduction is the unlawful abduction and confinement of a person against their will, and is a crime in many jurisdictions

I didn't know that Israel is just casually pirating away in international waters. Weird how that's not ok when somalians do it.

They shot and killed a 19-year-old US citizen in international waters a decade or so ago, and the international community did this 🙈🙈🙈 because regional stability or some shit

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 29 points 6 hours ago

In the '60s they killed like 30 US Navy sailors and still nothing happened.

Wrong imaginary deity as well, I suspect.

Israel just made a blunder

I'd like to see ol' Benny Netanyahu wiggle his way out of this one

The Israeli PM quickly and easily avoids any actual consequence for his country's actions

Nevertheless!
